Monica Bellucci is a very lucky woman. Ok, her husband is luckier, but that's beside the point. Not only is she a stunningly beautiful woman, she managed to get pregnant while pushing the age of 40. New research shows just how...well, stacked the deck was against her.
Even ten years prior, getting pregnant might have been harder for her than for a 19 year old. By the time a woman is age 30, 90% of her eggs are gone and whats left over isn't as high quality as the one's that are gone. By the time they are 40, only 3% of their eggs are still there. The research was done on 325 women of different ages from Britain, Europe and America. The advice from "Good Morning America"'s Dr. Marie Savard to women who want babies: "the sooner, the better."
Blogger's Idle Thoughts:
Not good news for the career oriented women of my generation. As stated before (August 13, 2010), people's brains are not fully developed until age 25. Until then, young people tend to still have risky behavior and are in fact extra stimulated by it. There might be a reason for that. Women start ovulating around age 13 and by age 30, they are nearly done. So for 12 years, young women are both less risk wary and most fertile. From age 13 to 25, they will ovulate about 144 eggs. From age 25 to 30, they will ovulate about 60 eggs. Nature wants them to get pregnant in those 12 years but to be more careful about the men they pick as they get older, because they will have fewer chances to have children.
